Fri, 06 Jul 2012 15:32:42 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=177986#comment-325187A few years back, when his pitching was at least kind of OK, I wondered why some AL team didn’t pick him up, drop him in the rotation and use him as a DH on other days. This was in his first few years when he was batting over .300 and hitting a few HRs.

Fri, 06 Jul 2012 15:22:23 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=177986#comment-325178He definitely is a semi-gawky white dude. Owings wears/wore #27 for the Padres this year and the guy in the picture is definitely a right handed pitcher.

Owings made a home appearance against the Nationals on April 25, so this could be from that game. Edinson Volquez and Luke Gregerson both wear jersey numbers ending in 7 and both throw RH. Volquez made a home start against the Nats on April 26. Gregerson appeared in both the April 24 and April 25 games, but he’s also a semi-gawky white dude. The last letter on the jersey definitely isn’t an ‘n’ and it most likely isn’t a ‘z’.

Mark DeRosa wears #7 for the Nationals, and a Micah Owings 7th innings walk to Jayson Werth definitely sent DeRosa to third base in the April 25 game. DeRosa never got to 3B in the April 24 game and never got in the April 26 game, so I’m going with indeed it being Micah Owings. It certainly doesn’t look like him though.

Fri, 06 Jul 2012 15:20:09 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=177986#comment-325176Well that makes much more sense, I see that now, somehow I missed it reading the first time.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks Aaron went back and added that after my comment.
